World Health Organisation declares Omicron variant is not ‘mild’

WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the record numbers of people catching the new variant – which is rapidly out-competing the previously dominant Delta variant in many countries – meant hospitals were being overwhelmed.

“In fact, the tsunami of cases is so huge and quick that it is overwhelming health systems around the world.” He therefore urged the world to share vaccine doses more fairly in 2022, to end the “death and destruction” of Covid-19. Ninety-two of the WHO‘s 194 member states missed the target set for the end of 2021 – indeed 36 of them had not even jabbed the first 10 per cent, largely due to being unable to access doses.Based on the current pace of vaccine rollout, 109 countries will miss that target.
